  • Andaman Calling

    Hello Everyone,

    I am Shakti from Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands. I am 24 and Works as a Scientist (Marine Biologist) for a NGO. Had a Yamaha Fazer (2009-15) before which i sold and Currently own the KTM Duke 200, she is called "MANTRA".
    Since, Its a Island, i don't get to ride long distances. however, Im planning to ship my bike next summer for a Ladakh trip. i do enjoy riding by the sea.
    My gear include the MT Axxis Limited Evo Helmet, Rynox Tornado pro Jacket, Solace Passion Gloves, will be getting the Spartan Perseus Knee Guards this month and in a look out for a riding shoe.

    Welcome to xBhp, Shakti.

    You live in a very beautiful place. Though I've never been there, but it is definitely on top of my bucket list.

    Look forward to see some more of Andamans through your eyes!

    Are you a native of Andamans or moved there for work?

        A ride by the sea, you got to be kidding me. You live in one of the beautiful places in the world. I love the fast sweeping turns near the Cellular jail and the Airport road. Never I can forget that !!!

              Wow! The whole route is scenic I guess. Andaman has always been on my touring list. Guess renting a bike is the only option though. Welcome to xbhp buddy.
